I’d Rather Have a Time Out for Behavior in Joshua Tree National Park by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A setting looking to the south while taking in views across mountain desert landscape with Joshua Trees and other plant-life present in this part of Joshua Tree National Park. In composing this image, I took advantage of the grouping of Joshua Trees to my front and how it helped to fill the foreground leading up to the more distant snowcapped ridges and peaks of Quail Mountain. The rest was later making adjustments with control points in DxO PhotoLab 6 to bring out the contrast, saturation and brightness I wanted for the final image.

it's quite funny for me since my favorite character in Band of Brothers is our aggressive, (allegedly?) war criminal with a reputation, big-balled Ronald Speirs while my fave in Masters of the Air is our heroic, soft and gentle, humble Rosie Rosenthal😭

Just learned that Major Mike Sadler died last week on the 4th at 103 years of age. He was the last surviving founding member of the SAS and the last survivor of the Long Range Desert Group. Rest In Peace, legendary sir.
Many of you may have been introduced to his story through Stephen Knight’s SAS: Rogue Heroes

There comes a point when you are doing too much research for fanfic, and that point is probably way before you’re looking up the interactions between the Cocos and Nazcas plates in order to decide where you would put a fictional island if you want it off the coast of Colombia.
#somebody take the internet away from me#because I am about ten minutes from taking this map of the Teri if plates and using it to map out the Disney Universe#because where would Atlantis be? with all the earthquakes it has to be on a fault line#Beuaty and the Beast takes place in rural France#but what about Frozen? Arandelle is vaguely Norway but is it a part of Norway? or next to it?#Tangled is sorta in Germany (even though their kingdom has a Spanish name)#plus thanks to the TV show we know there’s other kingdoms around Corona that are not Germany#Jesus Christ the Eurasian plate is huge#is this map accurate? it can’t actually be that big#is this why that woman from Amsterdam was so baffled by the idea of earthquakes?#ANYWAY!#this map says that the South American plate is moving west aka converging with the plates immediately west of it#and this map shows an underwater mountain range right where the South American plate meets the Nazcas plate soooooo#that’s where I would put a fictional island#just a little North east of Isla Isabela#it would be roughly triangular#relatively protected from hurricanes but would have frequent earthquakes#hmmmmm technically speaking that’s north of the equator and on the east side of the Pacific Ocean Gyre#so the water at the western beaches would still be pretty cool#the eastern beaches would be warmer#ok I’ve figured out the geography of my fictional Disney kingdom#now…#to figure out the actual plot of this fic#oh and that tag up there should say tetonic plates not Teri If plates#damn autocorrect

daisy!!!!! friend, i think that with all the hard work and thought you've put into this rp, and the open and attentive way you've been with us for our questions and everything — you are allowed tarantulas. we're all playing pretend cats and i think we would all love tarantulas, even if it's not geographically correct 🤍
Aw, you are so sweet!! 💜🫂
An escaped one established a population and the cats could, for all intents and purposes, create proper warmth to keep them as pets if they so chose... And they hibernate during winter. Much to think about!
Which also this just reminded me, I have to add a section to character creation regarding pets! As I would like to allow people to submit characters with pets, especially considering that there is a whole role within Skyreach about partnering with a bird of prey!
#tacking onto this: it is illegal to keep all but three species of tarantula in Maine#because they are fearful of them creating populations!#which isn't. impossible per se but it is not incredibly likely either as the temperature falls out of the range#most need to live comfortably let alone breed!#so plausibly yes a small populace COULD exist in the pacific northwest#esp since a scorpion has a range all the way up there too... tarantulas. as a treat

Ascending Past Difficulties Around Me with a View to Brokeoff Mountain (Lassen Volcanic National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: At a roadside pullout location in Lassen Volcanic National Park with a view looking to the west while taking in the setting of ridges and peaks in this part of the national park. From this overlook, I had a more or less unobstructed view of Brokeoff Mountain. I decided to zoom in with a focal length so that I could have much of the mountainside fill the image, while centering the peak in the upper portion. The rest was later making adjustments with control points in DxO PhotoLab 8 to bring out the contrast, saturation and brightness I wanted for the final image.

Day 26 of @amphibianaday's Amphibuary! I decided to draw Moss and Bark from my day 6 drawing. Bark (the slug) the the honorary one, in case you couldn't tell
And my mom drew her favorite guy, the horny toad. She says they were all over the place when she was growing up, and she played with them all the time. She misses them terribly
#moss is a pacific tree frog and bark is a black slug#their ranges overlap in real life which is neat#black slugs are invasive in the overlap area but like. they still overlap

#if u r curious abt following the saga that is my life:#i did finally accept an official offer from a school this afternoon. which is a huge relief and really exciting#and for once i think i did something that will b good for me in mind and body lol bc i think i could b happy with any of the places i#applied to but this program is most geared to my interests and its in a place where i think i can have fun due to the accessibility#of nature and the mountains haha. like at rutgers i think i could have got a good education and had a lot of opportunities but i think it#would have crushed my soul a lil bc it would b more high pressure and in the city. ya kno? so i hopefully i dont regret the choice lol#i still have to wait on the offical acceptance stuff but now at least i can allow myself to get excited abt the potential project and start#researching. which i mean ill have 5yrs of a phd for that but idk im excited and my life feels so empty and meaningless rn ive gotta take#the excitement where i can haha#anyway housing is gonna b a bitch bc there arent a lot of places available in grad student price ranges in the city to the point where they#said so in the official offer rip. and i have to decide when im leaving the southwest bc i could stay til August or leave in july and take#like a whole almost 2 months to just not b doing anything for a sec. and my dad was like !!! u could go to the crazy state parks#or drive out to the pacific northwest! and that would b amazing but also that sounds so scary to do on my own lol#like i dont wanna b missing and murdered as a youngish non guy traveling alone#but i could do it if i tried im sure. anyway i just wanted to let yall kno#bc im so doom and gloom on here all the time but a transition period is looming so im only stuck here for a few more months#and hopefully itll b a page turn into a happier place haha#watch out yellowstone cyanobacteria. im coming for u >:-]#knock on wood. ya kno. just in case#hhhh at least i can breathe a lil better now i have a direction#unrelated
